really like the mix of the raw chug and the backing vocal woo type bits on this one. Tone of your vocal is an asset too, and you can really hear it on this one. A very natural advantage that! Like the more speaky part especially.
this is a song that came from the pain of dealing with idiots that just dont get it on a daily basis. newest mix tries to deal with vocal vs instruments imbalance.
theres alot of idiots out there to write about! I often feel lucky to have music to vent or else I dont know where I'd be.
Really catchy melody here. Think that ones gonna still be with me come tea time
This started out as an acoustic piece that turned out kinda bluesy.
Inspired by current events.
Lyrics:
How many times
How many times
can I wake up in my sleep
How many times
can I walk until my feet are sore
How many times
can I freeze my…
I've been all around
I've been up and down
I said I've traveled in all directions
Now
The world is new
If you've seen what I've seen
And you've been where I've been
I guess you know what I mean
Now
The world is new

You asked me where these rumors start.
"I don't know," I said and crossed my heart.
But I told you I did not hope to die.
You said you can't trust no more.
Why start now? You never did before.
Now I just have to pause and wonder…
Goodbye Blue Monday
-
Goodbye blue Monday
There's nothing else to say
We always knew
we would part this way
Time comes to say goodbye
To pause perhaps and wonder why
Why we always had to be
So blue, so blue
I can see that life…
Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

A folksy number inspired by the stories my nan told me many moons ago about her uncle Herbie..
Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones.
Not a million miles away from a man you might have known.

Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2

.......if there not the one,should you keep looking, if so for how long...........well Reg threw Henwrench's music into the cellar and what bounced out was a song he wasn't suspecting....
Love me tender

TRAIL OF TEARS was not a metaphor. It was an American Holocaust. Michael Jeffrey helped me with this track.

CHORUS - Well, the trees…
leaving the island
Costello fingered his bow
looking out his villa window
grey morning sky
giving way...clouds
scattered by the sun
to fishing boats painted on
far off horizons
a melody he offers
in toast of their run
of their run
his boats…
Reg is trying to find escape from all the bad news surrounding him, his age, his life, the world as a whole, He needs to escape he can not do anything to help the suffering people of the world apart from maybe send money, he can't change this…
A bit of a ding dong in the cellar last night while on a Bender Reg, was sitting at the bar talking to himself an met J. M. Barrie. They disagreed on something and argued into the night...........but they left together........
More Original song than cover, I think.

awesome! very nice song writing. guitar lead is classic. would like to hear the scratchy voice in begining mixed a little different. maybe give it a boost in the mix.
Reg has just finished reading the Sunday Times it's quite a read and he has decided he has had enough of bad news. So he is going to try something different to try to carry on getting his kicks before the whole shit-house falls down…
Comments on Dirty Spirits's stuff
Ultra cool! Dusty, rustic spook. Vocals are amazing. And the guitars make me want to spark up! ...and that's exactly what I'm a gonna do.
A hint of the Doors on this one. Nice groove.
Nice touch with the answers. Actually, the Be my lover line is pretty hooky. Build on that.
A little New Orleans blues sounding. Good work!
This is great. The playing is restrained, and yet this is precisely what lends the song its power.
Nice musical tension here, coupled with the minimalist lyrical observations. Really suggestive, quite an effective piece. Well done!
Love the TVZ, bless yer heart.
likin that vocal great backing vocals too thumping guitar yeeah!!!
bloody brilliant
I love the chords in the chorus in this.. dark, but brilliant. Especially good use of your vocal in the verse and the chorus is a real pay off. Sold.
